[PATCH] Broken CLEAR_BITMAP() macro

The CLEAR_BITMAP() macro in include/linux/types.h is broken and doesn't
round the bitmap size to the proper 'long' boundary.

This fixes it by creating a macro BITS_TO_LONGS that just rounds a
number of bits up to the closest number of unsigned longs.  This makes
the DECLARE & CLEAR _BITMAP macros more readable and fixes the bug.
